Adventures in Wet Felting


I've taken the plunge! After admiring and reading about wet felting for what seems like ages now I've finally given it a go. And I must say I'm impressed with myself. Either I'm some kind of amazingly crafty lady who can master any medium in no time, or wet felting is a pretty simple craft. Well, maybe it's a little of each!

I'm way too new at this to start giving tutorials, but here's a few pictures of how I created a leaf pouch (which isn't finished yet, btw)

Here's my fibers all laid out, ready to be wet down:













Here's the leaf starting to come together:













And, here's a picture of all the felting I did today, including the leaf in the above pictures:













So, I'm pretty excited about this wet felting experience. I've got lots and lots of ideas for things to felt up! There's just not enough time in the day!

  2. Jessica,
    Your wet felted flowers are absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful and elegant enough for a centerpiece! All of your work is amazing! Thank you for sharing! By the way, I purchased your crochet salad pattern recently and I can't wait to make it! Now I'm off to felt some flowers--thank you for the inspiration!
